In the realm of online games, an exploit is usually a software bug, design flaw, hack or bot that contributes to the user's prosperity in a manner not intended by the developers. What is or is not considered an exploit varies between games and developers. The EULA (End-User License Agreement) typically states what type of gameplay is not acceptable. Thus, some developers may consider AFK gameplay to be an exploit, while others may not. Most companies involved in the development or maintenance of online games forbid their employees from sharing information about known exploits or bugs. Doing so is sometimes considered an exploit but is more often merely a vector by which other exploits are shared.

[edit] Consequences of exploitationDepending on the EULA and the severity of the exploit, developers may do anything from simply removing the exploited material from the game, to reprimanding the players, or banning their accounts. There are only occasional rare cases of an exploiter being threatened with legal action.[3] [edit] See also[edit] References[edit] External links
